Did you know that there are over 3.196 BILLION people on social media and over 90% of U.S. businesses are turning to social media to market their services?
Last year alone, most people spent an average of 2 hours and 24 minutes on social media every day.
There has never been a better time in history for businesses to get their message out there and in front of their ideal audience.
But what happens when you don’t quite know how to tackle digital marketing? With a plethora of online social media platforms, tons of traffic sources, and a saturated market place, where do you start and how can you find your way through the maze?
Here are 3 tips to generating leads through an effective social media marketing strategy that our ad gurus have compiled for you…

#1: Create a free resource (lead magnet) that your prospects will be interested in to give out
Generally, the first step to getting people on your calendar is to get them interested in what you have to offer. That’s why one of the first steps of any campaign should be to deliver something of value to anyone who is willing to give you their information to learn more about what you do. That’s what we call a lead magnet, because it attracts leads and entices them to exchange their email address for a relevant content piece your prospect will find value in, whether a report, a video, a whitepage, or anything else.
For example, one of our clients focuses on the re-selling of homes. We created a lead magnet for them that focuses solely on how to prep your home to sell at top dollar.
Another example could be a marketing agency that puts out an industry report on the latest trends that are working so that their prospects can be informed and get an advantage.
When you’re developing an effective free resource, it’s important to think about something that your target audience would actually use as soon as they download it. The free resource doesn’t always have to relate directly to the ultimate back end offer.
#2: Dial into your perfect audience
When it comes down to it, your campaign won’t be effective if you’re not marketing to the right people. Ultimately, understanding the type of person that you want to sell to will help you reach the right audience from the start and then you can get MORE money for your business.
Take a moment to create a profile for your perfect audience. Here are a few things you can think about:
What is their job title?
Where is their company based out of?
What industry does their business serve?
Ideally, what would their business’ yearly revenue be?
How big is their company (how many employees)?
What big outcome do they really want?
Marketing on social media revolves around targeting and making sure that your ads are being seen by the right people. If you can do that, they will all come to you instead of you having to go to them… and it will be at a MUCH lower cost.
